Vision (1)

The Network of Excellence CRUISE (CReating Ubiquitous Intelligent Sensing Environments - FP6-IST-4-027738-NoE) intends to be a focal point in the planning and coordination of research on communication and application aspects of WSNs in Europe.

CRUISE aims at building an effective team based upon a pool of academic and independent R&D organizations, that each are excellent in in the field of WSNs, with the goal of :

effectively serving European society and industry,

putting the European WSN research community and industry in the position to successfully compete with the US.


Vision (2)CRUISE consortium can achieve these objectives though:

Creation of a state-of-the-art Knowledge Base, available to the general public

Information collection, comparison, validation and dissemination

Solution of specific theoretical and technological problems

Establishment of a framework of common tools and methodologies to accelerate the research process and build sustainable collaboration links

Teaching and training, and novel techniques for knowledge management collaboration and dissemination (e-learning@CRUISE)

Collaboration with industry and European research initiatives active in this field

Stimulation of open discussion on the issues of standardization, international collaboration, and intellectual property

The CRUISE consortium will identify short-term and long-term benefit, beyond the 24-month period of project funding


Technical context (1)

The NoE CRUISE focuses on the communication and application aspects of WSNs, including all related and supportive technologies.

The field of WSN research has been attracting tremendous interest particularly since technological advancements make the matching of their requirements just a matter of time.

The potential for innovative user-centric applications is one of the most exciting aspects of WSNs, which creates a high motivation for working on the variety of challenging research topics.

At present WSNs are driven by two partially opposing trends: Using the open software, or firmware, which can be freely customized in the application-specific way,

Standardizing general protocols.


Technical context (2)CRUISE propose an alternative way by promoting discussion and strengthening research cooperation between industry and academia, within and beyond the boundaries of the consortium, while maintaining an academic nature.CRUISE intends to act as a catalyst for the creation of an habitat for WSN community in Europe, yielding:

Close co-operation with industrially oriented fora and with other existing NoEs and Integrated Projects (IPs)Long-term research and education co-operation between leading European universities and research institutes, beyond the initially funded period.

The CRUISE consortium is committed to serving the European research community, industry, and citizenship.


Objectives (1)Objective 1: Provide a vision and a roadmap on necessary research in WSN, both at European and broader international level. Establish a knowledge integration model and the Knowledge Base on state-of-the-art research and integrate the European research efforts based on it.

Goal 1: Establish a model for knowledge organization and integration covering relevant WSN topics.Goal 2: Evaluate the state-of-the-art in wireless sensor networking and establish a mapping of research topics covered in the CRUISE and in Europe into the knowledge model. Goal 3: To distil a path from current technological status to a successful near-term and long-term vision, by defining roadmap detailing on the application scenarios and requirements, standardization requirements and research directions.Goal 4: Provide feedback from CRUISE to the IP project e-SENSE

Objective 2: Implement a set of well defined joint research activitiesGoal 5: Significantly increase joint research to develop and maintain a strong European research leadership

Objective 3: Share and Integrate Methods, Software Tools and TestbedsGoal 6: Make the inventory of the existing platforms and experiences with using them. Benchmark and compare the tools.Goal 7: Open and interconnect test-beds to allow new experiments or to offer partners access to the common infrastructureGoal 8: Make the inventory of software platform and available modules. Propose and implement a concept for a common platform for software developments and tools. Facilitate and encourage common developments;


Objectives (2)Objective 4: Facilitate usage of advanced knowledge management and collaboration and communication tools for expertise sharing, information exchange and joint work

Goal 9: Install the Content/Knowledge Management platformGoal 10: Complement knowledge management with tools for online collaboration and communication to support the work of virtual teams and increase sharing of information

Objective 5: Organize open collaboration events i.e., cluster meetings/workshops, web-based tutorials/workshops, discussion forums, etc., to exchange and discuss ideas

Goal 11: Organize joint events to support the realization of the program of Jointly Executed Research Activities.

Objective 6: Facilitate the Mobility of Researchers and PhD StudentsGoal 12: Promote and facilitate mobility of researchers and PhD students as a key factor for integration and rationalization of research efforts.

Objective 7: Create a distributed PhD teaching curricula and training curricula in sensor networking and related topics

Goal 13: Design and implement a distributed program of post-graduate courses.

Objective 8: Organize regular CRUISE Schools as a tool for training of young researchers and communication with the industry, standardization community and international research community

Goal 14: Organization of schools

The expected results are specified in terms of measurable quantifiers for the two assessment milestones: after then first year, and after the second year.

Motivations

UWB-IR : promising technique for Short Range Communications.

Multiple antenna systems: reduce error probability and improve

capacity in fading wireless channels

In many cases, mobiles may not be able to support multiple antennas

due to size or other constraints

Solution: users cooperation → mobiles share their antennas to

achieve transmission diversity

Coded cooperation:

Space-time cooperation

Turbo-coded cooperation


Objectives

Study and analysis of the performance of different methods of

user cooperation in UWB-IR systems:

Traditional users cooperation

Coded cooperation

Different coding, modulation and transmission strategies will

be employed: space-time block coding, turbo-codes, etc

Physical and MAC layers: error probability, capacity, network

lifetime routing

Simulation by MUDISP simulator.


Approach

Preliminary investigation regarding the state of the art on

UWB-IR, user cooperation, coded cooperative schemes and

coding methods.

Training on MUDISP simulator.

Definition of possible wireless communications scenarios and

their implementation in C++.

Simulations and results analysis.

Conclusions.

Planning of further works.
